About Mencap
Mencap in Trowbridge supports adults in their own homes across Trowbridge and the surrounding part of Wiltshire. Most of the people we work with are adults with a learning disability and autistic adults, including younger adults building an independent life and older people who have been living independently for years and want to carry on. Supporting somebody in their own home is a different job from supporting them anywhere else. It is their space, their routine and their decision how the day runs, and our part is to make the life they have chosen workable rather than to substitute a tidier version of it. In practice that ranges from personal care and help with health needs to support with cooking, money, the household, getting to work or college, keeping appointments and staying in touch with family and friends. For people with a learning disability and autistic people, how support is delivered counts as much as what is delivered. Clear information, staff who stay the same, honest notice before anything changes and real choice about who comes into your home prevent most difficulties before they start. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please get in touch if you would like to talk about support at home.
